Genome-wide assessment and mapping of inbreeding depression identifies candidate genes associated with semen traits in Holstein bulls [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background The reduction in phenotypic performance of a population due to mating between close relatives is called inbreeding depression. The genetic background of inbreeding depression for semen traits is poorly understood.

Evidence of an Absence of Inbreeding Depression in a Wild Population of Weddell Seals (Leptonychotes weddellii) [PDF]
Entropy, 2023 Inbreeding depression can reduce the viability of wild populations. Detecting inbreeding depression in the wild is difficult; developing accurate estimates of inbreeding can be time and labor intensive.

Exploring inbreeding depression in Brazilian Angus cattle population using pedigree and genomic data [PDF]
Frontiers in GeneticsIntroductionInbreeding depression refers to the decline in performance caused by increased levels of inbreeding, which results from mating individuals with common ancestors.

Estimate of inbreeding depression on growth and reproductive traits in a Large White pig population [PDF]
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 With the broad application of genomic information, SNP-based measures of estimating inbreeding have been widely used in animal breeding, especially based on runs of homozygosity.

The evolutionary ecology of inbreeding depression in wild plant populations and its impact on plant mating systems [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceInbreeding depression, the reduced fitness of inbred relative to outbred individuals was described more than two centuries ago, long before the development of population genetics.

Genomic patterns of homozygosity and inbreeding depression in Murciano-Granadina goats [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Inbreeding depression can adversely affect traits related to fitness, reproduction and productive performance. Although current research suggests that inbreeding levels are generally low in most goat breeds, the impact of inbreeding depression

An experimental field study of inbreeding depression in an outcrossing invasive plant [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceInbreeding depression is likely to play an important role during biological invasion. But relatively few studies have investigated the fitness of selfed and outcrossed offspring in self-incompatible invasive plants in natural environments in their ...
